However, if there are a lot of people you want to move, you can also hold down your left mouse button and highlight everyone you want to move and then drag them over to wherever you wantĪ free trial of Scapple last 30 days of use (so if you don’t use it everyday, you can extend the 30 days over a period of time). For example, here I clicked on John Smith Jr and Mary Jones and dragged them over. If you CTRL click on multiple people, you can move them around together. The cool thing about when they’re connected is that no matter where you move John Smith Jr, he stays connected. Following Step 2 again, I connected him to his parents. Step 3) Back to step 1, this time creating their son, John Smith Jr. If you hold CTRL and click on each note, then right click, you’ll see “connect.” Step 2) I made John Smith’s wife, Mary Jones following step 1, but I made her bubble pink. If you right click on the note “John Smith”, you will see and option to “Apply Note Style.” I made him in a blue bubble. Step 1) Double click anywhere to create a “note” (basically a text box), which you can then edit. Here’s a little tutorial of the very basics you will need to set up a family tree. I found this program to be incredibly intuitive and easy to use and had a family tree comparing DNA matches set up very quickly.

It is available on Mac and PC and also offers limited use of the program for free.
Other genealogists I know have successfully used a similar program called Scapple. No matter whether it was on the iPad or PC, I could not get the lines to do what they were supposed to, nor could I move them where I wanted them or get them to be the correct length without dragging them out in silly ways. I was finally able to create a few text boxes but the ability to connect them with a simple line was beyond me. However, it is not a very intuitive program and I consider myself to be pretty technologically adept. You can use it on a variety of platforms and that appealed to me because I use my iPad a lot. I finally got around to checking out LucidChart, since they offer a limited use of the program for free. Sometimes we need to make charts in genealogy, in order to see things more clearly, or to make family trees for blog posts and presentations.
He talked about a few different third party tools, some of which we might not think of when we think of genealogy, such as a charting program called LucidChart. Way back what feels like 3 centuries ago, I watched a webinar by Blaine Bettinger called LucidChart and Other Tools for Genetic Genealogy.
